Aerosmith's bass player will join Thin Lizzy at a one-off, special gig at this summer's Ramblin' Man Fair.

The gig in Mote Park, Maidstone, will be the only chance to see Thin Lizzy in this country as they play a select few dates to mark the 40th anniversary of their seminal Jailbreak album and the 30th anniversary of the death of Phil Lynott.

A founding member of Aerosmith and co-writer of iconic songs such as Sweet Emotion and Janie’s Got A Gun, Tom Hamilton will join guitarists Scott Gorham and Damon Johnson, together with lead vocalist Ricky Warwick and keyboard player Darren Wharton.

Tom said: "I'm really psyched to be playing these shows with Thin Lizzy during my downtime with Aerosmith this summer. It'll be great to rock out to their classic songs onstage."

However, Motorhead drummer Mikkey Dee has had to pull out and is being replaced by y Judas Priest drummer Scott Travis.

Scott added: "Thin Lizzy are undisputed legends and to be a small part of their lineage is a humble honour for me. It's gonna be a blast."

The one-off date will be on the first day of the fair, on Saturday, July 23, when they will join Whitesnake headlining with Hawkwind, Uriah Heap and Procol Harum.

Headliners on Sunday, July 24 will be Black Stone Cherry.

Also announced will be Thunder, Whiskey Myers and Road Dog.

The festival is returning to Mote Park after its inaugural year proved successful.

Tickets are £130 for the weekend (£225 VIP) with Saturday or Sunday general admission £75 or VIP £125. To book, or for more information click here.
